What Is NotebookLM MCP Setup?

The NotebookLM MCP setup is a connector that links your NotebookLM notebooks directly to Claude.

It uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to let Claude control and retrieve data from NotebookLM instantly.

Think of it like a remote control for your entire NotebookLM account — right inside Claude.

You can use this to summarize research, generate infographics, create podcasts, and even produce videos based on your notebooks.

No exporting.

No reformatting.

Just one connected workflow.

How the Setup Works

You’ll start by installing the NotebookLM MCP Server from GitHub.

This open-source bridge lets Claude and NotebookLM communicate seamlessly.

To install, open Claude Code, launch your terminal, and paste in the GitHub command.

Once installed, you’ll unlock new commands like:

Listing and creating notebooks
Generating audio or infographic content
Querying or summarizing sources
Producing video overviews

This gives you full creative control from Claude.

Setting Up NotebookLM With Claude Code

Here’s how you connect it step by step.

Inside Claude, open your Developer Settings.

Locate the file named:
CL Desktop Config.json

Paste your NotebookLM MCP setup configuration, then save and close Claude.

When you reopen Claude, you’ll see NotebookLM MCP in the connectors section.

Now you can type prompts like:

“Create an audio summary from NotebookLM.”

“Generate an infographic using NotebookLM MCP.”

Claude will access your notebooks, process the data, and return real outputs in seconds.

Why This Matters
